Biography
Talos the Stone Fist was born on Melos, and he became a feared mercenary. He was as big as a boulder, and he was known to pound his enemies' heads into the rock faces of many Cephalonian mountains. In 431 BC, the Cyclops of Kephallonia hired Talos to track down Kassandra, who worked for the Cyclops' rival Markos of Kephallonia. Talos was ambushed by Kassandra as he paced through a marketplace near Sami, and Kassandra shot him with several arrows before finishing him off at close range with her sword. Kassandra found an invitation to the Pephka Arena (the most competitive arena in the Greek world) on his body, and she also looted his weapons and armor.
